Indeed. Ninjutsu, like anything to use stealth, assassination or covert operations, would look to use any weapon available, which is why the thread went towards firearms.

That post before mine, was that for post counting? How about the one after?
Hey, my post count has the same palaverment tone as anyone elses'
A ninja related fire arms issue, several modernizing ninjitsu groups to teach fire arms training. The Nine Shadows of the Koga Ryu and the Five Rings Ninjitsu Organization among them. I believe at one time both Robert Bussey & Ronald Duncan did as well.

i guess i missed these posts when i was out on my Field mission.
but Fire arms and Modern guns are a part of Ninjutsu. Robert Bussey's camp and Ronald Duncan still teach Fire-arms training and Disarms.
some of Master Duncans fire arms vids can be found on youttube.
like mentioned before. the firearms part of ninjutsu is Kayaku-jutsu which includes smoke an explosives, allegorical with Fire element.
i still cant find that pistol-thingy but some of the other early guns that ninja used were a match lock pistol which was also rigged to look like a sword deceptively.
the Tanegashima long rifle which was used by the warring states period ninja.
Ohzutsu is a wooden mortar that was used by the togakure-ryu ninja. similar to the one used by Infantry soldiers.
the Sodezutsu was another device used by togakure-ryu ninja. its a small hand held cannon.
in our Bujinkan dojo, we usually train with Pistols and M-16s for weapons disarms. some Dojos have the luxury of being able to go to the gun range or do airsoft / paintball training outdoors like at seminars etc.

When I first learned Omoto Ryu Ninjitsu the limited firearms consisted of pistols semi-auto & revolvers, shot guns and bolt action .308 rifles. I actually added assault weapons to the list...
I find that modernizing the weapon used in ninjitsu is key to keeping the art functional. Otherwise we are left with only taijutsu in black JBs & hiding in the shadows. I believe Ronald Duncan field tested his modernized way of the winds system in combat in the Army. Any body know about this rumor???

Though I agree with you, Hajilee, I believe it would be rather unlikely for there to be a video of this exact incident on the Internet. Still, if anyone's got a video of this at all, link it over!
